Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes). Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. Place it in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area until doubled (about 1 hour).
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Once risen, roll out the dough into a rectangle about half an inch thick.
- Spread softened butter over the dough evenly; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture and chopped pecans. Roll tightly into a log.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice logs into equal pieces (about 2 inches wide) and place cut-side up in a greased baking dish. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
